Dear Eastwatch,
@ First of all thanks for this useful historical fact. I have a great interest of our past history. Everything cannot be found out in the history.
@ I want to add a little bit. In the election of 1946, Muslim Leaque won in Malda district,Kochbehar and probably in Silligori district but lost in Khulna. But in order to give a corridor to India & to have a link with eastern states Kochbehar and Silligori was given to India. May be in compansassion on 15 August 1947 Chittagong Hill Tract was attached to East Bengal through a flash message.
@ On 14 August 1947, Indian flag was raised at Rangamati by some Chakma Comgress leaders but it was Fukka Chow former Speaker (Father of Salauddin Kader Chow) under whose dynamic leadership raised a mass scout force from Sylhet to Coxes's Bazer. This scout force along with one Punjab Regiment(Pak Army) went to Rangamati and raised the Pakistani flag. In those days the whole Chittagong Division had on slogan, "Larke Lange Pakistan, Nara-i-Tekbir Allah-o-Albar". In those days in the eastern sector there were only 2 x Battalion of 20 Division.Regarding this Fukka Chow had a great contribution.But who remembers these thinks. If I praise Fukka Chow, I am a Razakar ?
Thanks for the additional information. LARKE LEYENGE PAKISTAN was a slogan used by all the Muslims of then India in and before 1947. Please correct the name you wrote as Fukka Chowdhury. His name was Fazlul Qader Chowdhury. He was a powerful man with a strong personality and had some brain in his head. He was very popular not only in his home district, but also in other parts of the then east Pakistan.
He was the Speaker of Pakistan National Assembly and worked also as the Acting President when President Ayub Khan used to be abroad.
